NYC Brothers Fight with Butter Knife and Samurai Sword

Some people never grow out of the sibling rivalry phase. On Monday, two grown men were arrested after one pulled out a butter knife, prompting the other to whip out a Samurai sword in retaliation. 52-year-old Adalberto Caceres of Queens was at 50-year-old Jose Caceres' home in Bed-Stuy when the two began to argue. The elder brother allegedly pushed their mother after brandishing a butter knife, causing the younger one to attack him with a longer blade.

Both were charged with harassment, weapons possession and menacing. Jose Caceres received an additional assault charge and Adalberto Caceres nearly lost two fingers in the process. Regardless of the circumstances, there two are in their 50s, i.e. too old to be swashbuckling over nonsense.
